[Verse 1]
Rust in the clockwork
Blood on the hands of time
They rush like a hungry storm
I move on a different line
Slow as a grinding stone
Sharp as a quiet knife
I measure a single breath
Against a wasted life
[Pre-Chorus]
They hide their claws in pretty flags
Promise gold
Deliver ash
But every shortcut leaves a crack
And truth grows through the trash
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of patience
Forged in the longest fire
Good will outshine the shadows
Burn through their borrowed power
This earth is mix of heaven
Hell
Dressed up like “you are free”
But I will do this one thing right
Till right is all they see
[Verse 2]
They build their thrones on lies
Sand in a storm-torn sea
They bark
“Just look away”
Say
“End is all that we need”
I hold the broken gear
Turn it the proper way
Tiny
Stubborn victories
Stacked into judgment day
[Pre-Chorus]
They smear the sky with poisoned smoke
Sell the dark as holy light
But silence keeps a steady pulse
And waits to claim the night
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of patience
Forged in the longest fire
Good will outshine the shadows
Burn through their borrowed power
This earth is mix of heaven
Hell
Dressed up like “you are free”
But I will do this one thing right
Till right is all they see
[Bridge]
Freedom in chains
If you never choose
Heaven in bones
When you refuse
I’ll take the path
That scars my feet
‘Cause every scar
Makes hell retreat (oh)
[Chorus]
I wear a crown of patience
Forged in the longest fire
Good will outshine the shadows
Burn through their borrowed power
This earth is mix of heaven
Hell
Dressed up like “you are free”
I’ll keep on doing every step
Correctly
Endlessly
Till right is all
They see
